I tried to get my husband a new phone for his birthday. Worst experience I have ever had. I couldn't order a new phone "unless I went thru the app". I switched services to one that I could get him a new phone that actually provided customer service. I switched my line first to make sure the process would be seamless. WHAT A MISTAKE! I could no longer get a transfer pin from T-Mobile due to that. I could no longer access my account and they could no longer authenticate me. Hours and hours on the phone, no one able to transfer me to a manager, and even on my 8th call speaking to a manager, no one could help. This company is useless for customer service and caused me so much stress and agony with what I thought would be a simple birthday gift. PLEASE... unless you choose to self-service thru an app with ZERO customer service, NEVER chose T-Mobile. They are useless.
Recommendation: NO!!!
Unable to leave them after they took over from US Cellular. They are trying to force me to go into a store to get a transfer pin because they are unable to authenticate me after being with US Cellular for over 10 years. Hours and hours and hours on the phone, even speaking to a manager. ZERO customer service. You must travel miles and miles to go to a store or the only customer service you get is THRU THE APP which also wouldn't work. ZERO customer service. ZERO! 100% frustration. Never, ever, ever go to T-Mobile.
